You're right, it does not have the right color. It could be plated in silver, but more likely it's plated in zinc. This is a very popular...
It has quite a fun story, then.
Nice lamination find indeed! Now, I can't tell if the lighting of the image is playing a trick on me, but is there a die break between the rim...
